Diabetic and stuck on a tarmac

I want to know if anyone has ever been stuck on a tarmac for a long period of time without food or water. I know there is a new rule that you can not sit on the tarmac for more than 3 hours anymore BUT 3 hours for a diabetic, such as myself, without food or water could be deadly. I travel a lot and this I think is my biggest fear. It's keeping me from traveling around the world since that rule does not apply to international flights, even if they take off or land in the United States. Anyone ever have this problem?

I never leave home without at least one bottle of water, anda diabetic energy bar. I was told when I became a diabetic over 25 years ago to never leave without something to eat and drink. It has saved me many times.

I typically don't fly much, but I'm with you show them you are in fact a diabetic, and something would happen I would own that company lol. TSA is so strict on so much too, lady came in my store yesterday had to buy non pointed scissors to work in here office at airport. Guess if you need insulin need plastic needles lol.

I've spent some long hours in a plane (minus 10 with no generator at that!), but in those days the flight crew kept everyone chipper with lots of snacks. Now they don't do that! Be sure to carry your emergency snacks, adjust your basal (if you're on a pump), and pick up some other snacks in the airport as they're still impossible about letting you bring foods and juices into the airport.

Yea I always have an abundance of snacks on me, but with my tight blood sugar, sometimes my 3 candy bars just arent enough, believe it or not. I read an article recently about how there was a flight on continental that kept people on the plane without food water or working toilets for 10 hours. At that point my 3 candy bars would be done! Just this morning a Virgin Atlantic flight was stuck on the plane for 4 hours. They had water but no food. I know I am always prepared and extremely responsible, but I'm (unfortunately) not perfect and have sometimes forgotten to take a snack with me.
